Amazing! I can't recommend this trip highly enough. Mel & Anne were both such great hosts with excellent knowledge of the local area. The trip takes in some fantastic sights along the way, with plenty of opportunities to stop for a swim. Anne kept our glasses very well topped up, and Mel was kind enough to take some pictures of our group & messages them to me afterwards. This trip is an absolute must if you're ever in the area. 3 hours went far too quickly so we will definitely be back for more. Thanks Mel & Anne!

An excellent tour with a very knowledgable guide, who did not rush us and in fact the tour lasted over 3 and a half hours. We were a bit late arriving at the meet point due to Google maps, but the tour operator rang to see where we were, and when she heard that we were just parking. she rang the guide who held the tour for us. We were most grateful.

There were 16 of us coming to Malaga for 5 days. Mark made all the arrangements for our day trips, provided comfortable buses, and gave us the best guide in town: Victor. We had a fabulous time, We went to Granada to visit la Alhambra, to Ronda & Marbella, and to Sevilla. Mark is an excellent communicator, very quick to respond to questions, and Victor...was the cherry on the cake. His enthusiasm and knowledge had no limit, our traveling companions ranted and raved about him. Such a gem. Mark, we will secure your services again next year, with Victor...of course.

Having arrived in Nerja on Thursday evening, following a two day journey by train from the U.K., it was wonderful to stretch our legs. Accompanied by our helpful, informative and entertaining guides, Ana & Nero, we walked around Nerja, visiting all of the usual ‘tourist-spots’ but also being shown some of its more secret places and recommended tapas bars and restaurants. This was a perfect start to our stay in Nerja.
